"Hoosier Hideaway"

You’ve just found the antidote to the American lifestyle. You can take I-70, but the 90 minute drive southwest on Colorado State Highway 285 sets the stage gently and beautifully for your visit to Hoosier HideAway. Far kinder than I-70, you can avoid those frequent closures and 4 hour jams on Sundays or snowy days.

Want to get away...really away? We have a land line, but cell phones are inconsistent here until they are switched over to Hoosier Hideaway's WiFi. (We provide the phone number with the check-in instructions. There is high-speed WiFi.)

Imagine the possibilities with this property! This home can comfortably accommodate groups up to 22 with at least 9 kids OK with sharing double over double bunks and the top of the twin bunk in the other bunk room, or could also be a quiet couple’s retreat for 6 couples so everyone has their own bedroom and a double or larger bed. Every bed in the house has newer pillow-top mattresses, except the bunks. It’s 4756 square feet of 5-Star-Opulence with WiFi, many satellite TVs, and whole house audio with on/off and volume control in every room and on the deck, but you may find yourself just gazing into the magic of the old growth Pike National Forest behind the house, mesmerized by how the air smells. One neighboring home is barely visible, in the middle of the jaw-dropping beauty of the valley leading toward Hoosier Pass from Fairplay...10,200 feet above sea level. Also, only 4-wheel drive in winter months.

The kitchen has granite counters, stainless appliances, a massive island and room for tons of helpers, has one large table that seats 7, plus a small table in one corner for folks to take care of small children or read the recipe book. Dining room seats 12. The floor plan is wide open everywhere but the bedrooms, so you can always keep tabs on what’s going on with the rest of your party, even from a different floor if you’re standing in the right spot. It’s a natural floor plan for folks to go off into smaller groups with multiple places to play games, watch TV or chat. Also great for folks that might not know each other very well to mix and get acquainted comfortably in a delightful setting.

The spacious back yard doubles as a trail head, leading through Pike National Forest to Mosquito Creek, a 5-minute stroll (200-300 yards) from the back door. If you keep going, you will discover a network of forest service trails that are suitable for hiking or mountain biking. Watch the kids make a tree (or snow) fort just out the back door. The fire pit in back has a huge pile of firewood right there, and a 2-seat Adirondack chair!

**** Lower, Entry Level **** Kids' Paradise

PLAYROOM – Huge sized room where adults can grab a drink at the bar, and sit on the couch or play pool while the kiddos play games. Commercial-grade, full-sized: 7' digital dartboard, shuffleboard, bumper pool/poker table with 6 seats, air hockey and pool table!

The home is cozy and wonderful ! Elizabeth and Carla are also amazing and give so much support when needed. Please be advised that if you are going during “peak” time you will need a 4 wheel drive and a lot of courage as the road to the home is icy and difficult other than that our group of 14 had an amazing time!!! The place is fully equipped with everything !!!

This was such a beautiful home to stay in! The views were stunning during the day and at night especially in the hot hot tub with all the lights turned off! We had a party of 16 and comfortably fit everyone. Our first night of stay we went into the town of Frisco to Walmart and bought a ton of groceries that lasted our whole stay. We cooked every night and the kitchen was spacious and was equipped with everything to meet our needs. Another bonus was the game room!! Everyone loved it, and even when all people were down there, there was still enough room for all to be doing their own thing. Also, of course like is stated on the description, 4 wheel drive in the winter is required! 2 of our cars made it, but since the rental company screwed us over on the 3rd car, we unknowingly got only front wheel drive. We actually were able to get it up with the use of kitty litter, but were not able to freely drive it to and from the cabin, so kept it in the garage the entire stay. On a side note, we got our rental from Denver airport, so be aware and demand a 4 wheel drive, even though they will tell you “all their cars are equipped for the winter conditions”. Anyway, this was the most lovely cabin I’ve stayed in and our group plans to make a yearly trip back here! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!

Our group had a fantastic time in this beautiful house! Plenty of room for kids to run around and lots of fun games and amenities for kids and adults alike. Plus, the comfiest beds ever!! We'll be back.

Thank you for this quick review, Stephanie! We are thrilled that you had fun and especially slept well in Hoosier Hideaway's comfy beds! :) We welcome you back soon! -iTrip Vacations Breckenridge Team

The house is great for large groups. It has everything you want and more. Secluded but not too far from town and all the activities of Breckenridge. The beds are nice a comfortable, the kitchen is fully loaded, has two sinks, and a HUGE island. Every room is wired for sound and the game room will keep everyone entertained. Outside is a nature trail in every direction. At night when the stars come out they will literally knock you down there are so many, it is over whelming. This house is a true treasure and should be treated with love. The owners are very generous with all they provide in this property it is an absolute gem. ENJOY!

Awesome, Timothy! We are delighted to hear that you really enjoyed your stay at Hoosier Hideaway in Fairplay, CO. Your detailed descriptions really help other guests understand this special hideaway...away, yet not too far away. Hope to have you back soon...maybe when there is snow! -iTrip Vacations Breckenridge Team

After a 10 minute drive on washboard gravel and a steep 4 wheel drive required driveway, my crew and I arrived at the Hoosier Hideaway. The cabin is well appointed with everything a group would need for a long weekend.
If you are looking to spend your time out hiking or rafting, be prepared to drive about 1 hour to wherever you will be going.
Be aware that while the cabin seems remote it is actually in a neighborhood with wandering dogs, construction, and lights. You can get in some good star gazing if you turn off all of the lights in the home abd go into the backyard.

Thank you, Ronald for your stay and review of Hoosier Hideaway. We appreciate that you indicated that this is 4-Wheel Drive required. (And you stayed here in August). We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and were able to enjoy a bit of R&R! -iTrip Vacations Breckenridge Team

We had such a wonderful time at Hoosier Hideaway. We were sad to leave this place and wish we could've stayed longer. Our group consisted of 7 adults and 10 children (1-12) and there was plenty of space and entertainment for everybody. The basement was a paradise for the kids, the kitchen was nice and big for our group and we had everything we needed. It's so quiet at the house, away from the main towns, but not too far to drive to beautiful hikes and nearby towns. We went to both Breckenridge and FairPlay for outings as well. Whenever we had an issue, Carla was quick to respond and help us out. It really was the perfect place for our family reunion.

We are delighted that you had such an awesome family reunion and stay at Hoosier Hideaway, Li Anne! Thank you for this review and we look forward to your return to the lovely Rockies! -iTrip Vacations Breckenridge Team

Hoosier Hideaway is a great house to rent. Ample room for 11 adults (each having their own bed). The kitchen is spacious and offers plenty of socializing space while meal production is in process, the living room and game rooms (basement) offer plenty of room to spread out while spending quality time with members of our party.
We could not have been happier with this place. If you need a place anywhere near Breckenridge or Fairplay, I would strongly recommend the Hoosier Hideaway.

Fantastic, Nathan! We are super happy that you had such a comfortable and fun experience in the mountains and at "Hoosier Hideaway"! We hope to have you back soon! -iTrip Vacations Breckenridge Team

We loved the Hoosier Hideaway! It was the perfect place for 15 of us to hang out for a long weekend in the mountains. The house was beautiful and just as described, on a huge lot, so it felt really private. Breck ski resort was about 35 minutes away and the cute town of Alma was about a 10 minute drive, which made it really convenient to grab groceries/liquor. Would definitely book this place again!

I hosted our annual company Leadership Retreat at Hoosier Hideaway in August and it was a great choice! The layout of the home along with the amenities was more than suitable for 7 adults. The property was very clean and the staff from iTrip were very accessible.
The only issue that was not resolved to our satisfaction during our stay was the cleanliness of the hot tub. Apparently it had something to do with well water. We had 3 visits from hot tub/cleaning people and the water remained green and the hot tub unusable for my team during our stay. If using a hot tub is important to you/your group than this may not be the property for you.
Other than that issue I was pleased with the property and the management company.

Thank you for your review, Jennifer. As a direct result of your issue, we had the owners buy a 550 gallon cistern to ensure this never recurs. This is a new property, and we were unaware of the well capacity.
To allay any fears of other guests, this is the email we just got from Jennifer:
​Hi Elizabeth,
I genuinely appreciate you refunding a portion of our rental rate. Overall it was a great experience.
I will be looking to rebook that property for next year's retreat, however I am currently unsure of what dates we need. I will reach out once I know.
Thank you,
Jen

We really enjoyed our stay here; this place is perfect for a large group (we had a family reunion here). Good proximity to Breckenridge and the price was awesome. Tons of space, the game foom is awesome with things to do for all ages, and the kitchen and dining areas were perfect for a large group like ours. Really appreciated having the 2 pack and plays, booster seats, and high chairs - made it a lot easier for those of us with little ones.
The location is a bit remote and it can be a treacherous drive at night or if it's raining (definitely have 4 wheel drive) but the setting is very beautiful and good for getting it away. Internet was very slow and there is little cell phone reception (there is a hard line) but we viewed this as a positive! It forced us to get away from it all!
We had one issue with the fridge but the property manager came that day and even gave us a credit. The entire booking process was seamless and the property management company is highly recommended.
All in call, you will not go wrong here and we'll definitely look to stay here if we come back.

Thank you, Neil for this for this kind review! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. Yes, Hoosier Hideaway is in the mountains and in a less populated area...just outside of Breckenridge in Fairplay, CO. Yes there is a land line here for guests to use and provide to friends/family during your stay. I am glad that we met your expectations with service. We would be happy to have you again! -Trip Vacations Breckenridge Team

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hoosier Hideaway! We have 3 kids from 7-13 years old and the basement full of games was perfect for them at night. The adults enjoyed it too.. The home itself was very nice, roomy, and located on a secluded lot, could only barely see two other properties through the trees, so we really enjoyed being in the middle of nature and feeling like we had our own home away from home for a week. Home is also close to Breckenridge (20-25 min) and Fairplay (5-10 min), which have lots of fun stuff to see and do.
Would definitely go back and take friends and family!

Ben, we are very grateful for your review and stay at Hoosier Hideaway in Fairplay, CO. Your review paints a great picture for future guests to see. This home is excellent for mixed-age groups. Also, it is outstanding for corporate groups as well! We hope to have you back when the snowflakes fly to enjoy the winter activities! - iTrip Vacations Breckenridge Team

My fiancé and I wanted to get married on 7/17/17, but after buying a new home in December and our busy careers we just didn't have to to plan our wedding in time. So, we decided to get legally married on that date and do our big wedding and reception in 2018. We wanted a little celebration with close family and friends and Hoosier Hideway provide to be the perfect location to relax, play and enjoy this time. We slept 20 people there one of the nights and we only needed to blow up 2 air mattresses to make it work. Our favorite things about this house: big functional kitchen, games downstairs, big wrap around deck, while home surround sound, large dining area, and plenty of sleeping. We also love the location, 20 minutes from Breck, fishing, 4 wheel drive roads and hiking. One night we all gathered in the family room while our friend played guitar and we sang along while enjoying a fire in the beautiful fire place. We also hung our hammocks in the trees in the front yard and took naps in the afternoon. Oh, and, it's a dog friendly place too!! We would recommend this place if you want to get away with a group for a few days and do some exploring.

Congratulations, Shannon! Thank you for your sharing your memory-making experience at Hoosier Hideaway with others through this review. We don't understand the 3 Stars, especially since it sounds like it was a 5+ time and stay...but, we know that sometimes mistakes happen when writing these reviews. This home is very expansive, but for future readers, we only allow 16 sleeping maximum. This guest was told the maximum sleeping capacity, agreed to that, and then slept many more than was actually permitted. This is a problem because it is not set up to sleep, provide towels, etc for that many comfortably. With all this said, we are happy for your memory. We are hoping future guests understand that we have a 16 maximum sleeping guest capacity. We hope to see you for an anniversary trip, but with a far smaller group, please. - iTrip Vacations Breckenridge, CO

We absolutely enjoyed our stay in your beautiful spacious home. It was great to come back to continue playing in the game room and relax in the hot tub after a day of adventure. The kids and the big kids loved the game room, the game tables were a big hit. The adults had fun at the poker table. Of course, it was a joy cooking in the amazing kitchen. This home has everything you could possibly want in a getaway. Beauty, Space, Comfort, and Tranquility. The bedrooms and restrooms are comfortable and lovely. The location is perfect. We were pleased to have a fenced area for our dog when he couldn't go on the day's excursion with us.....he especially liked the birds eye view of the deck and the view through the grand windows. We will love to stay here when we visit the Breckenridge area again.

Excellent, Danny, we will certainly be delighted to have you back, too! I love that you pointed out that there is dog run that is fenced in the yard. We are happy to accommodate up to 2 dogs with a small fee. Many people, especially in the summer months, like to travel with their dog(s) to the mountains. Thank you again for sharing the details of fun that you enjoyed at Hoosier Hideaway! - iTrip Vacations Breckenridge Team

We absolutely loved our time at Hoosier Hideaway! This house is beautifully decorated and has every amenity you can think of for a comfortable home away from home. The kitchen is well stocked and has plenty of wares to serve a large crew. This place is a dream for kids (of all ages!) - the basement kept our children (ages 12, 10, 8 & 7) entertained for hours with all the fun games and things to do and also had space for my husband and I to have time together upstairs. (My husband was very proud of his high score on the pinball machine.) The hot tub was a great addition. We loved all the baby gear that was provided so we didn't need to bring things for our 10 month old. We didn't have a chance to hike the trail out back but look forward to going back to do that another time. Also the iTrip staff was very easy to work with and we were very appreciative of their flexibility.

Tara, we all thank you very much for this very detailed review of the beautiful Hoosier Hideaway in Fairplay, CO. Sounds like you all really enjoyed the game room! The kitchen is perfect for feeding a large group for sure! We sure hope to have you back when the snowflakes fly! -iTrip Vacations Breckenridge Team
